HOW DOES THE POSTSAVER+PLUS SOLUTION WORK?

The weakest point of any fence post is where it enters the ground. (the ground line section). It is at this point that the factors required for wood decay are present at high levels.

​

Factors for Timber Decay:

  • Moisture

  • Wood decaying organisms/fungi

  • Nutrients

  • Oxygen

  • Warmth

  • Leaching of preservative

 

These factors combine in the first 6 inches below the ground and rot the post. Below this depth the soil becomes compacted and oxygen, nutrients and temperature are reduced and the likelihood of decay decreases.

POSTSAVER+PLUS POST ROT PROTECTORS

Postsaver+PLUS post rot protectors are designed to prevent timber decay by sealing the vulnerable ground line section of the post.  They are the only total barrier protection product available. The bitumen sleeves create a tough dual layer barrier that is an air and water tight seal around the critical first 6 inches/15cms of the post below ground. This ensures all the factors of decay are locked out and the preservatives remain locked in.​

Postsaver rot protection consists of a dual-layer system, this system comprises a tough polythene outer layer lined with a meltable bituminous inner sealant. Upon heating, the inner sealant melts while the outer thermoplastic layer shrinks tightly onto the surface of the post. Once cooled the liner forms an air and watertight seal; locking out all the factors required for decay. It also adheres the outer heavy duty thermoplastic sleeve to the wood to form a tough, durable, long-lasting barrier.

​

Postsaver+PLUS protected posts can be power-driven into the ground using a post basher or tractor-operated fence post driver.
